Welcome to the website of Baroness Berridge of the Vale of Catmose. The Vale of Catmose is in Rutland which used to be the smallest county in England. Much of the Vale is submerged under Rutland Water, the largest manmade lake in Europe.

Elizabeth is a working peer, an informal title for those whose main role is their work in the House of Lords. She is currently the youngest female member of the House of Lords, and often meets with young people to encourage them to get involved in civic life. The Houses of Parliament is a public building, so anyone can book a tour or ask to see their MP.

Elizabeth says,“It is a privilege to have this role and I have enjoyed spending more time in Rutland since my appointment. Do feel free to contact me by email, post or telephone, follow me on twitter or sign up to my blog.”

“Rather than writing them off with a label that just suggests a dark horizon, let’s find out what the 18 to 24s think needs to be done to sort out their future, and so ensure a better future for Britain.”
